Statistics of VHE gamma-Rays in Temporal Association with Radio Giant Pulses from the Crab Pulsar
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +146
The aim of this study is to search for evidence of a common emission engine between radio giant pulses (GPs) and very-high-energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamma-rays from the Crab pulsar.…
The extreme HBL behaviour of Markarian 501 during 2012
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +276
A multiwavelength campaign was organized to take place between March and July of 2012. Excellent temporal coverage was obtained with more than 25 instruments, including the MAGIC,…
Constraining Lorentz invariance violation using the Crab Pulsar emission observed up to TeV energies by MAGIC
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +142
Spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry at energies on the order of the Planck energy or lower is predicted by many quantum gravity theories, implying non-trivial dispersion relat…
Search for very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from the microquasar Cygnus X-1 with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +144
The microquasar Cygnus X-1 displays the two typical soft and hard X-ray states of a black-hole transient. During the latter, Cygnus X-1 shows a one-sided relativistic radio-jet. Re…
MAGIC observations of the microquasar V404 Cygni during the 2015 outburst
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +142
The microquasar V404 Cygni underwent a series of outbursts in 2015, June 15-31, during which its flux in hard X-rays (20-40 keV) reached about 40 times the Crab Nebula flux. Becaus…
Observation of the Black Widow B1957+20 millisecond pulsar binary system with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +145
B1957+20 is a millisecond pulsar located in a black widow type compact binary system with a low mass stellar companion. The interaction of the pulsar wind with the companion star w…
First Multi-wavelength Campaign on the Gamma-ray-loud Active Galaxy IC 310
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +160
The extragalactic VHE gamma-ray sky is rich in blazars. These are jetted active galactic nuclei viewed at a small angle to the line-of-sight. Only a handful of objects viewed at a…
MAGIC detection of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the low-luminosity blazar 1ES 1741+196
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +159
We present the first detection of the nearby (z=0.084) low-luminosity BL Lac object 1ES 1741+196 in the very high energy (VHE: E100 GeV) band. This object lies in a triplet of i…
Observations of Sagittarius A* during the pericenter passage of the G2 object with MAGIC
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +153
Context. We present the results of a multi-year monitoring campaign of the Galactic Center (GC) with the MAGIC telescopes. These observations were primarily motivated by reports th…
A search for spectral hysteresis and energy-dependent time lags from X-ray and TeV gamma-ray observations of Mrk 421
A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +220
Blazars are variable emitters across all wavelengths over a wide range of timescales, from months down to minutes. It is therefore essential to observe blazars simultaneously at di…
Detection of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the gravitationally-lensed blazar QSO B0218+357 with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +151
Context. QSO B0218+357 is a gravitationally lensed blazar located at a redshift of 0.944. The gravitational lensing splits the emitted radiation into two components, spatially indi…
